Santa is all stitched.
I plan on finishing the two Prairie Schooler Santas as pillows after Thanksgiving.
I am making headway on the Woodland Babies birth announcement now. I’m working on the leaves of the tree.
All of the blocks for the second I-Spy quilt have been trimmed and pressed. I laid them out on a bed and then gathered together the twelve rows of 10 blocks.
I have 9 of those rows assembled now.
Only 3 more to go and then I have to cut the cornerstones for the sashing rows.
I’ve been in a baking mood lately. I made cranberry orange breads from my Better Homes and Garden New Cook book. You can find the recipe here. I also made Taste of Home pumpkin scones with cranberry butter. All were delicious. I forgot to take photos.
I’m back in Physical Therapy again. I made the mistake of wearing a shoe with a slight heel when I went outlet shopping several weeks ago and my right hip has been bothering me ever since. I thought it was bursitis, but the orthopedist says it’s sciatica. I have a pain med and physical therapy. It’s interfering with my daily walk and sleeping mostly. Otherwise I’m doing okay. It doesn't interfere with my crafting. LOL
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Take some time to have a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate and pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are up to.
Thanks for stopping by!
Santa and his little friends will make a great pillow. I see some familiar fabrics in the I Spy quilt... Have fun with your family this week. Gail
